Overview & Suitability
The parking lot at 63 Martin Luther King Jr Blvd is an outdoor, surface-level self-parking facility operated by Parking Management Company (PMC). Centrally located in Savannah's historic downtown near Yamacraw Village and the Garden Assembly Room, this fully fenced open-air lot provides a reliable and accessible parking option. It is highly suitable for standard passenger vehicles, including sedans, SUVs, and light trucks. Because it is a surface lot rather than a multi-level structure, there are no overhead height barriers to navigate, making it a convenient choice for slightly taller passenger vehicles, though it is not designed or intended for RVs, trailers, or heavy commercial trucks.
Access, Dimensions & Clearance
As an outdoor surface lot, this location offers an open layout with no overhead height clearance restrictions, eliminating the clearance concerns of typical parking garages. The lot features a clear, wide entrance with flat-ground access, making it highly navigable even for drivers of larger SUVs or those unfamiliar with tight downtown turns. Navigational signage and marked parking stalls facilitate easy entry, parking, and exit directly onto the main thoroughfare.
Parking Rates, Tariffs & Booking
Parking rates are highly competitive for the Savannah Historic District area, with daily reservations typically starting around $10.24 when booked in advance. To secure a spot and guarantee pricing, drivers can reserve parking ahead of time through digital partner platforms like SpotHero. For drive-up customers, the facility operates a fully cashless, friction-free mobile payment system called PMC Pay. Drivers can simply scan the QR codes displayed on the prominent purple PMC signs or text the indicated number to pay instantly via their smartphone using credit cards, Apple Pay, or Google Pay—no app download is required.
Security & Amenities
This PMC-operated facility prioritizes convenience and security. Key features include:
- Full boundary fencing to delineate the parking zone.
- Adequate overhead lighting for visibility and peace of mind during evening and overnight parking.
- Clear regulatory and payment signage.
- An efficient mobile-first payment portal (PMC Pay) that sends direct text alerts to add parking time remotely, helping drivers avoid expired-meter citations.
Strategic Alternative
This lot serves as an exceptional strategic alternative to more expensive on-site valet or garage parking at nearby hotels, including the Aloft Savannah Downtown Historic District, SpringHill Suites Savannah Downtown, and Courtyard Savannah Downtown. It is also an ideal starting point for exploring Savannah's Historic District; parked visitors can easily connect to the nearby free DOT Shuttle, which runs on a frequent schedule and links travelers to River Street, the Plant Riverside District, and other major downtown attractions without the hassle of driving through narrow historical streets.
